Today, my usual group with the addition of Gremory, Phenex-san and Quarta are all heading to school even though it was a holiday.

It had been a few days since my new assistant/manager had come to Kuoh and she seemed to have easily adjusted to being a 1st year in the same class as Mitt and Tōjō, although I've had a the rivalry between the 3 girls starting to develop for some reason.

Quarta mostly met us on the way to school as she usually did since she lives in an apartment close by to my house, so that way she can come to my house close by if she doesn't understand something.

The former [Exorcist] was still new to the land. She's still adjusting.

"Asia, were you able to finish last night's homework?"

"Yes. What about you, Xenovia-san?"

"Well, I don't know some things that are in Japanese. Would you teach me?"

"Yes! Please leave it to me! But, Kanji is still a bit..."

"Me too. It's really scary that the Japanese learn these complex characters. I am catching a glimpse of a part of a major economic power."

Quarta and Asia had already gained this friendly bond even though they intially started off on bad terms when they first met. The Church Duo, since it was their faith that deepened their bond together.

"I see. This is also the Lord's guidance."

"Yes, it is the Lord's guidance."

"Amen."

"Amen... Ouch!" Asia and Quarta added, the latter wincing in pain from praying to God. Old habits will stay the same, I guess.

"You should be careful Quarta..." The wielder of [Durandal] nodded in response.

"Today's going to be fun especially with the pool!" Mitt said with an up-beat tone in her voice.

We, [ORC] members, were ordered by the Student Council to clean the pool. It's already summer and the school has to open the pool. Gremory already gave her consent to cleaning with the condition of us having the very first use of the pool, thus we eagerly took out the moss leftover from taking out the water. The only people that aren't going is Yumi, as she's doing some work.

Well, this could be the perfect opportunity for me to try the water walk technique and meditation on top of water, since I don't have a bathtub at home.

I saw Ray struck an exaggerated pose that I suppose was an attempt to look sexy "Regardless of the battlefield, as 1 of Raiga-sama's lover, I won't lose to the red head or the others!"

O.O

She can't seriously be say-

"'Battlefield'?" Quarta questioned.

Ray nodded, seeming oh-so-pleased with herself "Of course! We, who dutifully serve Raiga-sama with our hearts and bodies, are constantly battling one another in competitions of love and sexual appeal to truly decide who deserves to stand at the side of Raiga-sama as his true favorite!"

"Oi-"

"It appears the pool is the perfect battleground for a war of epic proportions, to see which person can seduce Raiga-kun the most." With such a serious expression on her face, it was hard to tell if Quarta fully understood what Ray meant when she called it a 'battle'. Seriously, I'm really worried about what Quarta might do. She is such a bit unpredictable person that she might take out [Durandal] and try to actually unleash its power in the so-called 'battle'.

"R-Raynare-san!? Y-You're really planning something like that at the pool!?" Asia's face was bright-red as she stared at Ray in shock.

Mitt grabbed Asia's shoulders, a disturbingly noble smile on her face "Worry not, Asia-senpai! We all have shared our bodies with not only Rai but each other as well! I count you as my sister-in-arms! We shall both do our best to conquer Rai and share the place by his side!"

"Don't-"

"Very well, Mittelt-san! We shall both work together to become Raiga-san's lovers!" Asia smiled, clasping Mitt's hands in her own.

...I honestly don't know if I should be impressed that I've turned such an innocent girl like Asia into a pervert.

[WAIT!!! YOU GUYS DID WHAAAAAAT?!] Hyōdō stared, her jaw dropped with Gremory looking at Mitt and Asia with obvious envy in her eyes "You mean you had sex Raynare, Mittelt, Kalawarner, Leone AND Asia while getting them into yuri as well!?"

"...Yes." I admitted awkwardly, not used to admitting my sexual relationship with various girls in public.

"Looks like I have some serious competition..." I heard Gremory whisper to herself, but I've heard her none the less.

...Why do I get this feeling that a fight is going to happen?

- a few minutes -

I smiled while stepping out of the male changing room. I'm wearing knee length dark blue swimming shorts as I wandered over to look at the now clean and full pool. It was pretty easy to clean up the place the reward wasn't so bad.

Now, time to-

?

I turned around when I sensed Leone walk up towards me. I saw the pleasant sight of her in a 2 piece swimsuit with yellow/brown stripes like in Akame ga Kill... The attire made her look hot "How do I look?" She asked with a teasing smile and a light blush on her face.

"You look really great, Leone." I admitted honestly with a smile on my face.

"Hey, Raiga. How does my swimsuit look?" I turned towards Gremory and blinked at the sight of the 2 red strings covering her breasts that she called a swimsuit... Who ever made this is either an extreme pervert or exhibitionist.

"It's a bit extreme, I guess..." I commented while crossing my arms. That's the only thing that I can say right now, as I have no interest on Gremory at all.

"Hey Raiga-sama... What do you think?" My gaze turned towards Ray, who wore a white colored bikini top that looked perhaps a or 2 sizes too small and a bikini bottom with a skirt around it and a sun hat on top of her head.

"Wow." Was all I can as she looked like a goddess right now.

"Ufufu, looks like you lost out again to Raynare-san." Himejima-san giggled as she appeared with an even more revealing white swimsuit, if it can called a swimsuit at all since it just covers her nipples and crotch "By the way Raiga-kun, how does mine look?"

"More extreme than Gremory's..." I answered without reacting too much, which made her have a sad and disappointed look on her face, before I noticed that Kala appeared as well with a revealing swimsuit but on the same [LvL] as Gremory's or Himejima-san's.

"What about me, Raiga-kun?" Kala asked, making a pose.

"You look great as well." I said with slight embarrassment in my voice. This is the most daring outfit that she wore and I doing all my willpower to not get hard from the sight.

A few seconds, Hyōdō came out this time and she's wearing a red-and-white vest with a matching skirtini and red bow tie. I can see that she looked really embarrassed right now, which the blush on her face is a dead give away.

"Raiga-san, I-I came after changing as well"

"Rai, I've ready as well."

"Kazuhiko-sama... I have changed as well."

Asia, Mitt and Phenex-san stepped out as well, the trio of blonde in school swimsuits... Damn! They look really cute! I'll admit that I have a weakness for cute girls, and this blondie trio fits the bill masterfully.

"You look cute in those, girls..." I complimented them with a smile.

"Ehehe. I am happy that Raiga-san said that. Koneko-chan is wearing a school swimsuit as well." Asia giggled happily with a smile.

Tōjō looking slightly embarrassed as she also wore the school swimsuit like the blondie trio. She looks really cute, cuter than Asia but I wouldn't admit that out loud... Yet I feel something missing from her, but what is it?

"Ravel-san was worried about not knowing how to swim." Mitt add/taunted our recent housemate, who didn't took the insult too well.

"I was not!" Phenex-san protested.

"Don't worry." I said while moving towards the blondie with pig tails and patted her on the head "I'll help you if you would like..."

Phenex-san blinked in surprise as she looked at me "I-If Kōjiro-sama is offering, then I may as well accept." Phenex-san added with a slight blush. Looks like we have a tsundere in the area, how cute.

"I'd like some help too, Raiga-san..." Asia said with a slight pout and I can feel the smallest of jealousy in her voice.

"Ah, Raiga." Gremory called out to me, so I turned toward her to see that she has her hands on Tōjō's shoulders "Can you please help Koneko how to swim as well?"

"I don't see the harm."

____________________________________________

"Yes, 1, 2. 1, 2." I said while holding on Tōjō's hands, helping her with her feet pedalling exercises.

"Keep it up, Koneko-chan!" My eyes flickered to see Mitt, Leone and Asia, the blondies calling out support for the loli albino.

I saw Phenex-san, sitting a bit away with a volume of [One Piece] in her hands. I looked a bit amused that she had decided that it couldn't hurt for her to look into possible ideas for her own fire magic and Hyōdō is beside and explaining abilities. Gremory and Himejima-san are swimming lengths of the pool while Kala and Ray are sunbathing of to the side on vinyl sheets.

"Puwa- ...Senpai, sorry for making you help me out...." Tōjō spoke apologetically,

"Its fine. Because what kind of Senpai would I be if I can't look out for his Kouhai... And I don't really mind." Glancing behind myself, I nodded while stopping near the edge "And we have reached the end."

I instantly wrapped an arm around when Tōjō bumped into my chest, to make sure she's be ok "....Raiga-senpai, you're unexpectedly gentle." I heard her mumble and saw red cheeks. I patted her on her head before moving to help her get out.

"Who's next?"

"Me next!" Mitt called, waving her arms around, Asia looking embarrassed as Leone laughed.

____________________________________________

I sitting on top of the pool with various ripples waving out from my spot.

I was surprised that the unknown [Skill book] that I got allowed me to use [Hamon]. I took the [Skill] and I have to admit, [Hamon] is simple, effective and it suits my style. I can enhance all physical techniques without wasting [MP] for adding [Dying Will Flames] on them, as [Hamon] is produce through controlled breathing. Plus, I can still this [Skill] even if I'm out of [MP].

I can tell that the others are watching me right now, yet I ignored them in favour continue my 'training'.

*ding!*

[Hamon] LvLed up to 2!

Closing the pop-up window and deciding that today's 'training' is enough, I stood up and walked over towards where the others are right now. I saw the looks of curiosity in the eyes of Phenex-san, Hyōdō and Tōjō, so I chose to enlighten them "I'm practicing [Hamon] from [JoJo's Bizarre Adventures]... It's kinda like KI from [Dragon Balls Z]."

Hyōdō and Tōjō nodded in understanding while Phenex-san was still confused, as most of them knew of Goku and his adventures. I was even surprised that Asia knows him and the show as well, but that only show the influence of [DBZ] on the world.

Looking back at the pool, I saw Asia, Kala, Leone and Mitt were playing around in the pool with a beach ball. Glancing over to where Ray is, she's settling down on another vinyl sheet and I moved to sit down next to her as she pulled out a bottle of suntan lotion from her bag.

"Can you put this on my back?" She asked slightly embarrassed... Yet I can see her plan as clear as day. Well, might as well string the trap and turn it against her.

"Of course."

CHU

I was rewarded with a sweet kiss in thanks, Ray quickly pulled off her bikini top before laying down on her front on the sheet. I gently gathered her hair together and moved it out of the way, before my hands started to work on rubbing the oil in.

"Aaaaahhhh~" Ray let out a moan as I slowly and teasing brush my fingers against her side boobs while I worked on her sides, ignoring the little creature heading towards me as it's not a threat.

I frowned as the creature hit me on the head, looking around to see a small red cartoonish bat familiar of Gremory flapping above my head before pointing one of its wings at where master was sitting, who was shaking a small bottle in her hand as she mouthed "Come here."

I just shook my head before continued on applying the oil on Ray's legs this time, ignoring the squeak that the bat let out and it hitting my head again but I saw Ray pointed a finger at it and fired a beam of light at it "That was the warning... Next one will hit." Ray growled in annoyance while light began to glow from her finger.

I didn't need to look around to know that the bat retreated back to Gremory's side while I continue massaging her soft asscheeks, giving a teasing squeeze as Ray moaned again while I brought my mouth closer to her right ear "Thanks for getting rid of the bat." I whispered husky before squeezing her ass again while I felt Leone move towards my spot.

"I'm not letting the red head interrupt my massage... You are really good at this." Ray moaned softly back, I smiled as a pair of slender arms wrapped around me from behind and a pair of soft orbs were pressed into my back.

"Can I have the next massage?" Leone asked sultrily. I glanced to see her head rested on my right shoulder.

"S-"

"I think I should have the next massage, Leone-san." Gremory spoke, drawing our attention. I raised an eyebrow when I saw that she shamelessly showing off her breasts... I can tell that they're bigger than my lovers, but I'm not fully attracted to them by appearances alone.

I felt Leone hugged me tighter in a possessive manner "Oh? You really think you deserve boss' skilled hands running over your body, stimulating each nerve." I felt Ray shudder under my hands, and I didn't need to look at my familiar to know that she's  smirking at seeing the blush  thatgrow on Gremory's face as Himejima-san approached us and giggled.

"I would love Raiga-kun to apply oil on me as well."

Ray turned over where she lay, shooting an annoyed look at Gremory and Himejima-san as she sat up and hugged me as well, squashing me between her and Leone "No way. I'm not letting either of you two near Raiga-sama." Ray said a bit possessively.

"Ara, it's unfair that it's just you Ray-san." Himejima-san replied with a small pout.

Gremory nodded in agreement "Yes, I should be next as I have asked already."

"Hehehe... I think you're wrong." Leone started.

"My familiar asked for me." Gremory rebuked as she crossed her arms.

"That annoying bat didn't ask anything... It was just hitting Raiga-sama." Ray shot back annoyed, Leone and Himejima-san nodding in agreement.

"She's right Buchou..."

"Whose side are you on Akeno!?" Gremory shouted annoyed, Himejima-san giving her a smile back, before the crimson haired young woman shot at the others "I will not lose to any of you!"

"Oh really!" Ray spoke, moving to stand between me and Gremory with a stern look on her face "Who said you were 'competing' to begin with!?"

"Hey Raiga-kun, Buchou is scary. I normally run around and get tired out, I just want to release the built up thing in my cute Kouhai." Himejima-san spoke challengingly.

"Really now? I doubt you could keep up with the things I aim to do with boss." Leone challenged with a smirk, moving to stand with the 3 other young women.

"You are not teaching Raiga anything before I do, otherwise you'll turn him into a beast." Gremory shot back, a crimson aura around her.

An indigo coloured flame like aura flared around Ray, shocking me as they look like [Mist Flames] "Who said that you would be teaching my lover anything like that? When I'm already know enough."

"Ara ara, I won't back down, Ray..." Himejima-san spoke with a closed eyed smile, a gold aura appearing around her with sparks crackling.

"I'm not going to give Raiga-sama to you, Crimson virgin princess-san." Ray declared towards Gremory.

"You can't stop me, Fallen Angel slut-san." Himejima-san said while Leone unleashed her own aura, grinning with unhidden bloodlust.

"Pot meet kettle, vulgar [Priestess of Thunder]-san."

"You're no better, hairy beast woman-san." Gremory said with a glare.

I sighed exasperated as the pressure grew around the quartet of young women before glancing around to make sure no one was close enough to be affected by it, noticing that Mitt, Asia and Phenex-san are watching in curiosity from the far edge of the pool while Kala smirked.

Turning back to the quartet, explosions started to be set off as they started to fight. They were throwing their attacks around and I end up having to lean my head out of the way as a bolt of yellow lightning zipped close to my head.

...I just hoped that I don't have to clean up this mess.

I blinked when I just remembered that Quarta still hasn't came out and played with the rest of us... Might as well find her, rather than dealing with the fighting women right now.
